                                    R.I.P.
Especially remembering your bigger than life presence in all of our lives.  Thank you
Justin for being such a good example to each and every monk of Saint Andrew's Abbey during the time that you were among us.  

Watching you grow and develop your Character and values plus your "love of life" to family and always in service of others are exceptional.

Indeed Your formative year's and well into your adulthood with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department will remain a treasure for years to come within our hearts here at the Abbey.  

You Justin, are sorely missed as your one year anniversary approaches on the 10th of June 2024.

We join your parents, Joyce & Hal,  your sister Lisa, your Twin brother Josh.... well
The entire Terry Family & Friends.

With God's + Blessings and Our prayers from Rt. Reverend Abbot + Damien Toilolo, O.S.B.
& each of the Monks at Valyermo.
                                  Peace!

Rest In Peace. You will be very missed. I always enjoyed seeing you and your son in the Rimfire League  at the Clark County Shooting Complex.  The Terry family are class acts.

I had the privilege of knowing Justin and his brother Joshua when they worked for the Lancaster School District.  I remember them both as very nice young men and we were sad to see them leave the District and  move to Las Vegas.  I also now live in Henderson and was very sad to hear about Justin.  My sincere condolences to his family.

Although I didn't know this fine Officer I would like to thank him for his dedicated service to our community.  I extend my deepest condolences to his family and friends and hope they find peace knowing he is protecting them from above.  RIP Officer🙏

Dear Justin,
Our hearts are saddened and our vision dimmed by this great mystery of death, the most profound mystery of all human experience...that change which sooner or later must come to all of us.  When the time comes we know not.  All expect it, and none escapes it.  By it we are reminded of the uncertainty of human life, and a sense of utter grief weighs heavily on those nearest and dearest.  No worth of virtue, no wealth of honor, no tears of friends or family can avert or delay it.

For you, Justin, whose memory we revere and whose loss we now deplore, we offer up before the world the last tribute of our affection thereby demonstrating our past esteem for you.  The Great Creator having been pleased in his infinite wisdom to remove you from the cares and troubles of this transitory existence to a state of endless duration, thus severing another link from the familial chain that binds us together and that we may be for firmly cemented in the ties of union that we mutually promote each other's welfare and happiness.

The evergreen tree, which once marked the temporary resting place of the illustrious departed is a symbol of our belief in the immortality of the soul.  By it, we are reminded of that immortal part which survives the grave, which can never, never die and say neither good-night nor good-bye, but good-morrow, Justin, leaving you in God's quiet and blissful domain.  There, under the sunbeam smiles of immutable Love, we, as faithful servants cherish the fond and immortal hope that we shall meet again-to part no more.

Justin is not only my best friend but also a brother. This event has left a huge hole in my heart and in the hearts of many who have had the honor of being around him.  Justin has the biggest heart, the kindest soul, and a gentleman's mind. Though we participated in juvenile adventures growing up, he was always the one who kept us safe. I will always cherish the good times we have shared for three decades and I will continue to find strength from his wisdom during those bad times that we helped each other through. While our last actual conversation weighs heavy on my heart in light of this event, I find happiness as we got to spend time celebrating your birthday while enjoying another wonderful bbq meal. One thing is certain, camping trips will never be the same. I had hoped that we would one day be a bunch of old Four Father's sitting on a cabin deck watching our grandchildren play. While this won't happen the way it was intended to, I find comfort knowing you'll be watching over us and telling us not to show the kids what happens when you put an unopened 5lb can of refried beans into the fire pit. But hey, the critters around camp sure ate well that night. Lol. We will one day see each other again but until then, know that Stacey, Sean and Jake will be loved and cared for by all of us. You spent your life protecting us and others and it's now time for us to do the same in return. I love you Justin and I miss you so damn much. 

Justin Terry is my cousin. Myself, my brother John, and my sister Debbie, i remember all of us cousins playing together with Justin, Joshua, and Lisa. We had some pretty good times at our grandparents house.                                                                                                                From Kimberly Marshall(Crabtree) and second cousin Jenna                         and Aunt Sandy and Uncle John Crabtree, cousin John, and cousin Debbie.  Our prayers and thoughts goes out to the family at this time           
                                                     Rest In Peace Justin

Best man in our wedding, October 21, 2006

Thank you so much for your service to this state and city prayers and condolences to the family coming from a LVMPD  family 

Thank you for your Service Justin. My thoughts and prayers go out to Justin's Wife, Son's, Family and Friends. . 

My fondest memory of Detective Terry was the way that he connected with my son, Elijah, who is autistic.  At a time when Elijah would not look anyone in the eyes or speak to strangers, Justin was able to break through that barrier with a handshake and a smile.  Elijah told Justin he wanted to become a police officer and Justin told him all about the police and supported him all the way.  Both Elijah and I, and the entire rest of my family, are absolutely shocked and heartbroken.  A man with great integrity and love for his fellow human beings has left our sides.  All we can do now is pray that he continues to watch over us from his new home in heaven! Fly high Justin and know that you will ALWAYS be in our thoughts and prayers.  

From a former long time 911 dispatcher in Colorado, I'm heartbroken for Justin's family, friends and co-workers. I pray that God will give you comfort in the coming days and months. I'm so sorry. 

My heart goes out to Justin Terry’s wife and children. My heart aches for your loss. God Speed Detective Terry. May God Bless your soul always. You’ll always be remembered. 

One of my fondest memories with Justin is spending Thanksgiving dinner with him and Stacey together.  He was responsible for the turkey and ham while Stacey worked on everything else, and I brought dessert.  We had enough food to feed a whole army 😀.   Justin, you will be sorely missed!  My condolences go out to Stacey and the whole Terry family!  May the beautiful memories you made with Justin carry you through this difficult time of grief!  ❤️ Uli F.

I've known Justin since middle school. He was always a good friend, respected by all. He was a positive influence. Ever since I can remember, Justin wanted to be in law enforcement. He used to tell us about the ride alongs he used to go on when we were in school. Justin even had a hand in me joining the wrestling team with him, which helped give me the drive throughout my life. Wherever Justin was, everyone wanted to be around him. Justin, your friendship, your service to others and to the community will be missed. You were one of the great ones. Rest in peace my friend.

We have been friends and brothers since we were 13 years old. Justin thank you for always being the responsible one of the group. For always calling us out when we would screw up and loving us through it. Justin it has always meant the world to me when you drove to San Antonio when I got hurt overseas, you were one of the first people at the hospital after the helicopter crash. You were always there when any of our kids had the idea to join the force or just need to talk. My heart is broken, I, like Chris always thought that we would grow old together and watch our grandkids play as we sat on the porch. We can’t replace you but I promise we with be there for Sean, Jacob, and Stacey. I love you brother. Now relax in heaven, your watch has ended.  Thank you juicy! 
For those of us still here on earth, let us remember this:
 “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. John John 14:1-3 

Thinking of all of Justin’s family, friends and coworkers during this difficult time. 

Sending hugs to the family during this difficult time. 

Sending our sincere condolences to the family of the late Det. Justin Terry, you will be greatly missed.  🙏💕
